A humorous and ironic folk tale from the Maasai of East Africa in which only the frog (a most unlikely heroine) is courageous enough to take on a bully.

Recensione:

"Not even the fox, leopard, or elephant can drive the ‘monster’ who eats ‘rhinos for lunch and elephants for supper’ from the den of the hare. Through Frog’s wisdom, tact, and calmness, the monster—a tiny caterpillar—is evacuated from the hare’s cave. A lively Maasai tale, with vivid illustrations."

Horn Book Guide

"This evocative retelling of a Maasai fable features a hare who finds that her home has been taken over by a mysterious interloper. . . . Spurll’s lush jungle foliage and primitive page borders impart a believably African tone. . . . The implicit message—what you can imagine is often scarier than what actually exists—is well taken here."

Publishers Weekly

"Mollel . . . tells this amusing cumulative tale with a verve that especially recommends it for oral sharing; Spurll sets her wonderfully expressive animal characters in a carefully composed jungle attractively bordered with a lively geometric design, adding such delightful touches as a bespectacled leopard reading to her wide-eyed cubs. Delightful."
